 e Month\n\nBlack Sun By Rebecca Roanhorse A copy of the book will be provi
 ded.A Pre-Columbus Indigenous Adult fantasy book\n\nSynopsis:\n\nSynopsis:
 \n\nA god will return\n\nWhen the earth and sky converge\nUnder the black 
 sun\n\nIn the holy city of Tova\, the winter solstice is usually a time fo
 r celebration and renewal\, but this year it coincides with a solar eclips
 e\, a rare celestial event proscribed by the Sun Priest as an unbalancing 
 of the world.\n\nMeanwhile\, a ship launches from a distant city bound for
  Tova and set to arrive on the solstice. The captain of the ship\, Xiala\,
  is a disgraced Teek whose song can calm the waters around her as easily a
 s it can warp a man’s mind. Her ship carries one passenger. Described as
  harmless\, the passenger\, Serapio\, is a young man\, blind\, scarred\, a
 nd cloaked in destiny. As Xiala well knows\, when a man is described as ha
 rmless\, he usually ends up being a villain.\n\nCrafted with unforgettable
  characters\, Rebecca Roanhorse has created an epic adventure exploring th
 e decadence of power amidst the weight of history and the struggle of indi
 viduals swimming against the confines of society and their broken pasts in
  the most original series debut of the decade.
